Jennifer Howard | Cottage on Bunker Hill

Hummingbirds are important pollinators, and they help to spread pollen from flower to flower. Here are 5 flowers to plant that will attract them.

Morning Glory

Hummingbirds are attracted to trumpet or tubular flowers.  Morning glories are an easy climbing flower to plant from seed.

 You will hear the hum of the hummingbird wings in your patch of Zinnias!
